Definitions
- a carbon nano tube for example, is a graphite hollow cylinder having a diameter on the order of several angstroms. Structurally, the CNT is similar to a hexagonal lattice of cylinder-type carbon. The CNT has a quantum characteristic at a low temperature, and the characteristics of a metal or a semiconductor, depending on its chirality.
- the metal type CNT can carry a current of high density with a given resistance.
- the semiconductor type CNT can be switched on and off like a field effect transistor (FET).
- FET field effect transistor
- the two types of nano tubes can also be combined (sharing electrons). Due to these characteristics, the CNT is an optimum material for the fabrication of a nano-meter-sized semiconductor circuit.
- the CNT can be, for example, a one-dimensional electric conductor, which means that a one-dimensional quantum mechanical mode carries a current.
- a CNT based transistor has advantageous electrical properties because diffusion in the material is inhibited, which can enhance device performance.
- a gate of the current transistor generally includes gate forming materials such as tungsten (W), polysilicon, poly germanium silicide, and tungsten silicide.
- gate forming materials such as tungsten (W), polysilicon, poly germanium silicide, and tungsten silicide.
- W tungsten
- polysilicon polysilicon
- poly germanium silicide poly germanium silicide
- tungsten silicide tungsten silicide
- CNTs have been proposed as new gate forming materials to overcome the problems resulting from the scale-down of semiconductors.
- a method for forming a gate using a CNT has not been commercialized.
- the CNT has a cylinder structure, so that a contact surface with silicon (Si) becomes narrow. As a result, it is difficult to control subsequent processes after formation of the CNT gate. It is also necessary to prevent a short channel effect.
- Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed to providing a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same.
- the method includes forming a gate structure using a CNT.
- a gate resistance is reduced and a short channel effect is prevented.
- a semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate comprising a recess, an insulating film disposed over the semiconductor substrate including the recess, and a CNT gate disposed over the recess including the insulating film.
- the CNT gate includes a grown CNT pattern having a half-cylinder shape and an insulating material formed over the grown CNT pattern.
- a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes etching a recess region of a semiconductor substrate to form a recess; and forming an insulating film over the substrate including the recess.
- the method further includes forming a CNT seed layer over the insulating layer, and etching the CNT seed layer to form a CNT pattern.
- the method includes growing the CNT pattern to form a grown CNT pattern.
- the method further includes forming an insulating material over the grown CNT pattern to form a CNT gate.
- the recess is formed by an isotropic-etching process.
- the CNT seed layer is formed by a process selected from the group consisting of chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), electricity, laser, plasma, vapor synthesis, electrolysis, and combinations thereof.
